Help[Opinions] Re: Piaget
in reply to a message by Higuma
I immediately thought of Jean Piaget (psychologist).
And the word "Piagetian" (referring to his theories) which I believe is pronounced "Pee a Jet ee un" despite the name being "pee a zhay".
Then I thought - it seems like a "bling" name, because it's the name of an expensive jewelry/watch company. Like Cartier (Fr. pron.) as a name.
I don't really like how it sounds, so those associations distract me, and I'm not enthused.
But it's not horribad like Freud or Rolex would be. Just a French-sounding surname as a first name - gives me an impression more like Monet than anything.
